You did the right thing, Rob, though I might have #3’d even earlier in the game.

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 17:55:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=116162#comment-1205240Heh – so whatever company (I assume other commenters have figured it but I didn’t bother reading) got annoyed at you gaming their ad-game, and made your move for you?

Yeah, screw ‘em if they can’t even play their own game by their own rules.

And if you don’t see the advert they won’t let you buy the phone. They’ll pull them from the market out and shut down the factories because their marketing plan has failed. That’s how businesses do business, amirite otaku?

I took a look at the website. Flash. Seriously, it’s supposed to be some cutting-edge techno-phone and the website looks like it was designed by my Dad in 2001 (“kids like snazzy graphics, robots, and lots of animated ‘loading’ bars, right son?”)

I also demand that Boing Boing forward my emails to 10 friends. It will bring them good luck and if they don’t we will all suffer an ancient gypsy curse.

I only learned blockquote so that all the cats here don’t say “Oh daddyo, you’re sosquare – can’t you get hip? This markup language is such a blast!” and then by the end of the movie I’d be saying “You know, kids, this html stuff isn’t so bad after all!” and letting my daughter go visit the alt.* hierarchy on her own.

I prefer the brevity of the <BQ> tag, because it represents Burger Queen, which is the opposite of Dairy King — <DK> stopped selling food, and just publishes coffee-table books showing cross-sections of things you’d never want to see the insides of. Like Jar Jar.

The <BQ> tag doesn’t seem to work here, so we have to spell out <BLOCKQUOTE&gt in full, wasting Earth’s precious keystrokes. What’ll we do when we run out of keystrokes? Ration them so that alternating sides of the street are disemvoweled on even or odd days of the month, like in Wales?

Of course it is. If it weren’t me, wouldn’t I bother learning how to do
the “put a gray box around it” quoting style that all the cool kids do
rather than the “put a greater-than symbol in front of it” quoting style
that went out of fashion around the time they’d only revived “Star
Trek” twice?

But the line about someday touching a boob not rendered on a flat screen was pretty nice :)

Promise that UNLESS Rob types in the code (again!) then you will CONTINUE to hang out on Boing Boing, and inflict your comments on us.

Threatening to “leave and never come back” doesn’t seem to be working. . . how odd. . .

I know I’m not quite the contributor to this thread that DroidCzar is, but I think I have something to add. Could you ask the mod that blocked my last comment to reinstate it? It was mildly in the gray area of rule-breaking, but I think it was on point given the tone of the comments from DC and others with strong opinions about how you absolutely suck. I would continue reading BoingBoing if you would just grant my request. :D

p.s. please don’t reveal my cashmoney address to the world. I’ve got a marketing piece I’m sending you and that address is a key part of it.

See, like, this commenter was all ‘you guys are weak alright?’ and his name was JIM DAVIS. And rossmcd was like ‘go away dude’ and I (so funny) recalled that that name was like the same. name. as. the. cartoonist. that draws Garfield, like since the Carter Administration, OK? And I’M all ‘yo, your strip is weak, stop haha’ and I got four likes for that shit brah…heck yeah!

BUT THEN….OOOhhhhhhh the ‘Moderators’ had to be all Moderate with their Moderation and delete any proof that ‘Jim Davis’ ever existed! So my prescient and ribald comment sits in the blogosphere all lonely and without context…

This site is using this as a way to gain more visitors(their own PR) and therefore make them more money. If you think there is any reason other than that, you’re as blind as the person who designed this site.

actually use modern technology. Guaranteed that any other site that
talks about this phone knows exactly what Pulse is.

Idiot here! I know what pulses are, and they are delicious. But my cell phone is a Motorola PEBL from 2006; the only pulsing it does is when I have it on vibrate.
